There is no ‘safe’ way to legalise assisted dying, warns Conservative MP Danny Kruger on spiked today ahead of Friday’s House of Commons vote. Talking to Fraser Myers, he argues that a ‘right to die’ would force the NHS to offer ‘death on demand’. For all the talk of the ‘safeguards’ in the proposed bill, the experience of countries like Canada shows that mission creep is inevitable. There, assisted dying is routinely offered to those who don’t ask for it, and as a substitute for proper care. He urges his fellow MPs to reject this dangerous bill.
